Securing python credentials

[johnagillespie]

I am using Python to pull some data from an API. 

What is the best way of securely storing API keys and inserting at runtime.  I don’t want to leave them embedded in my dashboard.

Hi  @johnagillespie ,

The data connected through power bi is strictly protected. This is the Power BI Data Protection December announcements. You can check:

That doesnt help me. 

I have a PBIX file with API acccess credentials embedded in the file in a Python script. I want to be able to share the file with colleagues using Github or similar, but dont want to leave the API creds in the file. I want to pull them in at run time. 

How would I do that?
